Dead fish raise fears of reservoir poisoning
MORE than 7,000 villagers in a rural county in Chongqing Municipality in southwest China are facing a water cut because a local reservoir has been allegedly poisoned, today's Chongqing Economic Times reported.
Sun Ping, a fish farmer in Shiyan County, said about 14 tons of fish in the reservoir went belly up, costing him nearly 700,000 yuan (US$100,180) in economic losses. He believed the reservoir had been poisoned.
The dead fish all turned red with an open mouth. They looked different from those died from a lack of oxygen, Sun told the newspaper.
He found three bottles on the shore. Two were empty and the third containing some white smelly fluid.
Some villagers wanted to collect dead fish in the reservoir, but he stopped them and suspected some of them spilled the poison into the reservoir to get his fish.
Local authorities have prevented villagers from fetching water from the reservoir and police have taken away the three bottles for examination, the report said.
